Talk:Wisdom

From iA wiki

I wish I was wiser but I am not jealous of those who I perceive to be wiser. I like this topic. I wish peer-to-peer journalism, weblogs, internet, knowledge management and digital information technology make people wiser. Should I add these comments as related topics or flesh them out a little and then add to the entry directly? - ABliss

Collaboration appears to be able to raise participants to a near-equivalent level of perceived wisdom to those in the top ranks. An enlightened structure can help channel participants to a like-minded goal. Because the goal is collaborated and agreed with, it's attainment is perceived as wise, so participants appear wisened by their desire to collaborate. </talking-out-of-ass-mode> ->
At any rate, so far it appears that all the blathering which has been committed to the internet has been essentially worthless. Websites go stale, weblogs aren't organized, usenet conversations are recorded for all time but aren't organized into useful knowledge-bases. Once people begin to focus their attention at organizing each piece of information they commit, especially in collaborative stuctures, then the internet will be of more use. ->
If you wish, go into a detailed rant for each of your concerns and eventually it'll get picked apart and spread around the wiki. If you can commit parts of a rant for each appropriate topic, plant things in their various /Talk pages and the ideas will eventually find themselves integrated into their main topics. Not that you need to ask anyone permission, but really.. just go nuts and write. If you can be organized then be organized, otherwise just plant things wherever. zuihitsu! <code> =) </code> -- rack


There's a definition of Wisdom that builds up from Data -> Info -> Knowledge, which might be of interest. --Pallando
